[MOD] Variety and Rebalance Overhaul (VRO) 4.x

[Scoob]

I dont really have anything to do with SVE, you better ask its author, seems there are some issues on their side.

Hi again. I got a response from the author of SVE. He thinks that the VRO Viper overrides his Viper and there's not an issue with the Viper in his mod. This suggests that there's perhaps an issue in the VRO base mod or the VROified version of SVE. Beyond my ability to check and dig into this further, sorry.

Vipers don't appear to be built very often but the only two I've seen in my current game have been built with no Engines, shields or turrets, though they have had active missile launcher main weapons.

Is it possible to look at a saved game - where the ship ID is known - to figure out where the issue lies?

If SVE is problematic, I'd be happy to drop it, if VRO had a bit more ships to choose (I'm really not a fan of using Supply Ship chassi as battleships).


How about porting some Split ships from SVE for Free Families and Fallen Families?
It always bugged me that they have most of the same equipment as ZYA/CUB, while they should be some kind of underdog.


There are some SVE Split ships that would be perfect for FRF/FAF:
X3 Raptor
X3 Python
Caiman (makeshift Frigate from L-Miner)
Taipan (makeshift Light destroyer from L-freighter)
Scorpion (makeshift gunboat from M-Miner)

XR Ship pack in my opinion is much better than SVE.

Nah, XR is even more of an OP and design mismash mess than SVE.

Why fighters don't use missiles against other fighters?

Hey Shuulo,

Hope you're doing well. Just wondering what you thought of 5.0 and the new Salvage mechanics, if you've had the chance to look. I'm playing around with them now - vanilla game - and find them somewhat limited. I can't seem to salvage Large ship wrecks - dunno if it's a bug or not - but it got me thinking of the possible addition of L-Class Salvage ships. Is that something you might consider.

Just having a random moment, don't worry about replying if you're busy or just don't want to. It's all good.

I find I struggle to play vanilla now after too much time with VRO and other mods. Never did like Egosoft's take on balance and have modified Weapons (shot speed) shields, hulls etc. since back in X2 days. Thankfully, VRO give me the exact balance I like, so things are easy for me these days lol.

I remember from that Bernd mentioned on interview that large wrecks will be recyclable with special XL salvage ship that will come in DLC, it will cut them into blocks. So I will only update the DLC assets for now, and we will see how easy it is to add such ships

That's cool, I missed that comment from Bernd. So, not all aspects will be available unless you have the DLC too. Good to know. Was gonna get it regardless though.

Heads up, shuulo posted an hour ago on Reddit that VRO update won't be instant with the DLC release.
Because shuulo is from Ukraine and had to evacuate.

Thanks for sharing this magitsu. I don't have a reddit account - very much a read-only person in that regard - so I was totally unaware of this. Stay safe Shuulo!

He's been posting at vro discord lately (also within last 24 hours), so at least there's that.

[friznit1]

He has a version of VRO pinned on his Discord channel that works in 5.0 but does not yet support the DLC, so you can at least continue your old saves with the DLC disabled for now.

Any chance you could share that link from Discord here? For those of us that don't use Discord.
